The National Disaster - Uttarakhand Floods

Uttarakhand floods incidence has been a nightmare. The lucky few who were survived & are alive have nowhere to go - few rescued and many are waiting for help. The dead lie where they fell. The rescued survivors have horror stories with them....its very painful and horrible...People narrate of incidences when they saw their beloved ones dragged by the nature's fury in front of their eyes....We cannot even imagine this instance... Way back at home, many are desperately waiting to hear about the well being of their dear ones... The death toll is definitely much higher and 17th being Monday, the number of pilgrimage might have been the highest in the week..No food, no water, the pathetic scene around can we just imagine how would have the survivors actually battled all this after their survival from the flood in the devastated area...News of dogs preying the dead bodies, water being sold @ 200/-, chopper @ 1000/-, jewelry being given by people for food & water who do not have money, and some such happenings coming forward which I cannot even write here ..Devastation is huge and the rescue team is scare...There may be many survivors stranded there who might break by the time the rescue is available to them... May God give them courage till rescue reaches them...Prayers for all those affected... Army doing a great job....

But this has been Nature Vs Mankind...Let us learn from this shocking incidence to take care of the environment now...Way back in schools we have learnt that the trees prevent soil erosion and floods.. What are we doing - cutting those trees to construct and fulfill our selfish needs....We need to protect and plant trees and cut our carbon footprints..We need to save ourselves from being the generation responsible for devastating the Mother Earth ....This is a devastation in some part but this could be the future of the whole earth if we do not take this as a very big alarm from the environment... No individual can do anything alone but if each one of us contribute our individual efforts we together can SAVE OUR PLANET...

Satyamev Jayate

A Great Initiative By Aamir Khan and Satyamev Jayate Team - a Step Towards Reformation, Development and totally Eye-Opening Attempt. Hats Off to the entire Team of Satyamev Jayate - A Very Innovative, Touching programme.  

The 1st episode on Female Foeticide - Really shocking to learn the statics and that educated people have a major share in this shameful disgusting act. A Grand Salute to those ladies who suffered, took great pains, broke their relations with husband, but did give birth to girl child and prioritize the up-bringing of girl child. 

The Society needs Mother, needs Grandmother, needs Sister, needs Girlfriend, needs Wife but they do not need A GIRL CHILD!!! Unanswerable is that Mother-in-law who herself is a female, does not need a  grand daughter. WHY NO TO A GIRL CHILD??? Just because she has to get married and go to other's house, because she will not repay her parents. In today's days, many sons keep their parents in Old-Age Home and yet their are few Boy Child Lovers. Does such a son deserve to be their parents heir?? 

Most of the people are in deep sleep, majority have restricted themselves with their routines and hardly have time to do anything for the nation, for the Society today. Most of the people are living with masks on their faces, with their hearts dead and busy with their show-offs and are very much self-centered & self-concentric. As long as something is not actually going to effect someone, no one is ready to do anything and to add to it is the "Chalta Hai" attitude of today's days. 

The show has touched the hearts of people. Their are responses of appreciations, supports from all over for this show but how long are the people going to actually be active, how many times is an individual going to really take an initiative to stop a wrong doing of others who are strangers but are fellow countrymen? People need to wake up and come forward to stop the wrong happenings in the Society. People need to come out on streets for revolution - A mass movement is essential. Doing something to stop such deeds by each individual can only bring a major change in the society, as is said always बुंद बूँदसे सागर बने . But these efforts need to be continual. It is a tradition our Nation rises up very easily, gets impressed and motivated very fast but very conveniently forgets the issue, the pain, the wounds and gets back to their monotonous routine and finally we end up with blames on Government & Systems. Kindly do not interpret me for backing the Government. The need of the hour is an another fight for Independence - Freedom from our mis-beliefs, our wrong doings. It has to be a mass movement - A movement by citizens of India. People should bring in the change, not the Government.  Let us come together and force the Government to take action, to make laws and to ask courts to clear the cases. Jagoo India Jagoo!!!

Let We Re-Build A New India !!!

Jai Hind!! Satyamev Jayate!!!

MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO SOCIETY

Sharing A Mail That I received from my friend, worth reading with a serious lesson.....
Germany is a highly industrialized country. It produces top brands like Benz, BMW, Siemens etc. The nuclear reactor pump is made in a small town in this country.


In such a country, many will think its people lead a luxurious life. At least that was my impression before my study trip.


When I arrived at Hamburg, my colleagues who work in Hamburg arranged a welcome party for me in a restaurant.


As we walked into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. There was a table where a young couple was having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic, and whether the girl will leave this stingy guy.

LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA


 
----Must Read ! Very Powerfully Worded.
Bravo - Prakash Bajaj, Editor of Times of India . 

LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA
 


I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politicians, 
Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh  all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief ministers I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi , so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right on sea shore. Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will.

Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligence agency & CBI, you and your finance ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld, isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.

If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever cared to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other side, you politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am everything  - Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled Caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Scheduled Caste, and Creamy Scheduled Caste; only what I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of Mother India by your policy of divide and rule.

Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn't even spare him and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges and insignificant local polititian of Jalgaon WHO'S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber stamp in the name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDER OF INDIA 'S THREE DEFENCE FORCES. What morale you will expect from our defence forces? Your party along with opposition joined hands, because politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for a good person.

Dear Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most intelligent person, a most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give names of all Indian account holders. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolves among us. There will be political upheaval, but that will be better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.

Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person, or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

Indian Scams and Jan Lokpal Bill


Summary of All scams 
of India : 
Rs.910603234300000/-

FunFunky.com


See how Lokpal Bill can curb the politicians, Please Read and Circulate it to create awareness

Existing System
System Proposed by civil society
No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.
Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyone’s permission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.
Lokpal and Lokayukta will havecomplete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.
Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have powers to investigate and prosecute any judge without needing anyone’s permission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.
Lokpal & Lokayukta will have toenquire into and hear every complaint.
There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies.
All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent.After completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies.
Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process.
Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut.
Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.
Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recoveredfrom all accused.
Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.
Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.
Dear All, Please go through the details carefully & try to be part of this mission against corruption. 
 Spread it like fire; Our Nation needs us... Please Contribute... This is not just a post, it’s the future of our Nation. 
"Together we can & we will make the Difference …!”
